So what does a Graduate Recruitment Consultant do?
Being a Graduate Recruitment Consultant is in many ways similar to that of a Trainee Management Consultant, but with greater earning potential, faster progression and more client-facing responsibilities. .
* As a Graduate Recruitment Consultant you will be researching leads for candidates and clients, and cold-calling these to initiate relationships.
* You will meet with clients and candidates regularly, at your office and across the City.
* You will organise interviews and manage candidates through the entire recruitment process.
* You will be responsible for generating new business and having a strategy for this.
* You will close the deal and earn your commission!
What do you get for being a Graduate Recruitment Consultant?
* Starting salary is £20-24k with market leading commission structures with realistic OTE's of £40-45k year 1 and £65k+ year 2.
* Fantastic rapid career progression based on the targets you achieve, including leadership development plans and full support from the firm in driving your continuous development.
* Great rewards for hard work such as lunch clubs, trips abroad, city breaks and team prizes, in an energising work environment that makes you want to go into work on Mondays.
* Other benefits may include duvet days and gym memberships and working in a social atmosphere with regular team nights out.
What do we expect from you as Graduate Recruitment Consultant?
* Ambition. Be ambitious!
* Confidence and outgoing. Be social! You need to build quick relations with candidates. Remember: you are trying to sell a job to them!
